First OCS order placed on Wednesday afternoon just showed up right now. The Tangerine Dream smells insanely good tho a bit drier than I prefer. Not a fan of the packaging either and I've moved it into a sealed glass jar

I need to buy a high quality water bong. but of course I need value as well. I like the beaker style but would also like to be able to be sitting when taking hits and not having to stand up to reach the bong. don't mind getting ashcatcher if it is deemed useful and am looking for good water filteration and easy cleaning.

I'd basically take something irregular like catnip and learn to trim it into a rollable state and roll it. Use a cigarette paper like Players or Export or something that is thicker and easier to handle until you learn.

you can buy a cigarette roller (head shop, AliExpress, eBay) but there is an art to using that too, unfortunately. Only advantage is that you can roll a real fatty, .5g in a regular paper whereas most people can't manage to hand-roll more than .4g. (You can roll thinner joints in this too.)

Your other option might be cone papers. Now filling these is like a game of Operation and the big ones can hold a gram which is not always handy. Because they have a wide end they are hard to snuff out for later until you have smoked more than halfway (which is about 2/3 the weed content).

Smoke a tiny joint at first. 0.3 grams or less. OR split 0.3grams with a friend. Make sure a buddy is around. First time can sometimes be scary, depending on the person.
Don't do the thing where you "hold it in" until you cough... you only get a head rush high because of extra chemicals from the smoke being inhaled too long.

The general rule is Indica (in da couch), makes you all chronic. Zoned out buzzzzzed. So if you want to have a good sleep... or ready to sit down for a netflix binge , this is the one!
Sativa is known to be a "head high" happy giggly type of high. Great for activities... Like reading books.
Hybrid is inbetween both.
This is a general rule as there are so many strains these days bred for different purposes!

Since you're a noob. TRy not to smoke too much. It might look small.. .But smoke the small joint first. You can always go back for more afterwards.

Great tools for easy rolling!

But won't help your hone rolling abilities.

TIPS TO ROLLING

1. Avoid dry hands. Its hard to roll.. You need a wee bit of grip... But not super sticky fingers. So use some hand lotion and give it a few minutes to dry out (so your hands arent too sticky). Or in a pinch... Brush your hair with your hand/fingers. Your scalps natural oils will help. Unless you JUST washed your hair or you are one of the people with dry hair. (which you should see a doc for!)

2. Try using a bigger paper. A buddy of mine likes to use RAW papers because they are larger. You end up having a better grip and leverage on the paper.

3. Use a CARD. I find its the best rolling tool.

4. A good grind. Is your weed a bit wet? Grind it up good. It'll make it easier to roll.
Is your weed a bit dry? I find its easier to roll when dry... But careful on the grinding otherwise it'll turn into mj powder

5. Too lazy to learn? Get a bong or a glass pipe... Fill your bong, light, inhale. Nice and easy. Disadvantage is the clean up... Which isn't too bad. Just swish some alcohol in it and run it under warm water. Or soak overnight in some diluted iso alcohol.

SAML GLASS 24cm Tall Nuc Matrix Bubbler Matrix Percolator Bong. US $33.55. If possible buy a Borosilicate Glass bong= superior quality.
Lots of high quality clones available. If looking for something cheap and quick try https://www.everyonedoesit.ca/collectio ... B0%5D=Bong
Just remember in most instances you get what you pay for. Thin glass is a no no esp near the neck.
Reg bongs without filtration need cleaning every few days. Filtered less cleaning sessions.

OCS has been taking a lot of heat online but I don't really agree with any of this after trying them for myself. The mold issue was specific to one brand and even then if you look through /r/TheOCS many people were happy with that brand until that news broke. Other brands continue to receive positive reviews without issues. My personal experience so far is that the price is fair if not cheaper than local dispensaries (though obviously not cheaper than MOMs) and the quality of the bud itself is excellent for the price, not to mention they deliver to your door in under 48 hours of ordering online at this point.
There are areas where they can improve but they've also only been open for 2 months. I'm going to try to support them and leave feedback while I still order the stuff they don't carry from MOMs.
